I agree. Back in the day, I knew one of the engineers who designed airbag systems for GM. He told me the trick to disabling them.

A week after I disabled the bags, we got run off the road by a semi at about 80 mph. As I was struggling to regain control on gravel, we narrowly missed a signpost. At that speed, I assume that even nicking the post would have set off the bags, knocking my hands off the wheel and rendering the car completely out of control.

I like the concept of side curtains but I’m not a real fan of frontal airbags

“He told me the trick to disabling them.”

Yea, I guess you mean the ‘resistor’ trick. Best we not tell anyone else here, LOL.
